In 2010, 8.6 million guests checked in hotels of Dubai alone, whereas in 2009 it was 7,8 million. Experts suggest that by 2014 the air-trade market in Emirates will become the second world’s largest in terms of growth’s pace conceding only to China.

Dubai has undertaken all necessary and opportunely measures for the development of all sectors of economy, and as of today, Dubai’s oil revenue is less than 20 %, with the rest being income from the financial sector, tourism, business, education, air-travel, transport logistics etc.

When the hot period draws near many businessmen fly back to their home countries, which allows them to enjoy warm climate 365 days a year. At the same time, if properly planned, they keep their residence status in Dubai and benefit from absence of income tax, corporate tax, tax on the sale/purchase of real estate and tax on rental income.
